Isn't it annoying when a serial necrophiliac buggers up googling yourself. Simple pleasures ruined. (self-googling not necrophilia!)

Bought Coffeehouse Reportoire x2, now have the eternal question as to whether to keep the volumes pristine (usual) or annotate the hell out of them with marker pens etc. What's the profrssional view? @GMGawain


A great @diverseability afternoon. @15GavinHastings a gentleman, @davidflatman bloody funny - or was it the other way round - can't remember - might of had a drink. Anyway, almost £40k up. Well done. See you all next year.

Absolutely marvellous day at our first Rugby Lunch since 2019 - and an incredible £35k raised for @diverseability 🤩 thanks to @15GavinHastings @davidflatman @hoburneholidays & @RossGoode2 for being part of it

Chairman Message We wish all our members good health and be assured we will reopen the Club at the first opportunity. Whatever the restrictions, we will find a way to go back to Winton Liberal Club on a Tuesday and relaunch the Chess Club with an optimistic view for the future.

We will be adding support for variant, "Long Chess"!* *Widescreen monitors required. Invented by the ruling classes in medieval Europe who played on their feasting tables. Pawn promotion is rare. Popular with Henry the VIII - a notoriously bad loser. #chess #AprilFoolsDay

In fact @ginger_gm is largely underestimated in the chess community. He not only rocks a cool hairstyle and plays like a drunk Alpha0, but he actually is a fine(!) player, with healthy opening ideas that are often ahead of their time. This is one of those non-sarcasm tweets.👌

@ginger_gm is back and this time he breaks down the top 5 #chess moves of GM @anishgiri! ♔ ♔ Watch on Youtube : youtu.be/uR6_NMBkV0o

Lidl management today said that because of the panic buying and pandemonium in their stores, they are taking drastic action and opening another till.


As a failed Nerdy Scientist (the science bit, not the nerdy), I am extremely pleased to see the PM surrounding himself with excellent advisors of this type. I take a scientific view over a ranty political comment any day. Hoorah for the Nerdy Scientist!!
